I'm a huge fan of the yoplait light fat free yogurts. they're super tasty and gluten free! rare to find things that taste good and are gf.. anyway, I like to mix mine with fruit.. my favorite is the vanilla yogurt. I add bananas and strawberries to it. I am a huge sweets person, mostly chocolate, and the yogurt/fruit combo…

just keep a positive attitude towards it.. I had to repeat a few weeks more than a few times but eventually your body accepts the workout and then one day you're running and you don't even realize you've passed the 3 mile mark! music definitely helps.. I also started running with a friend.. I find that I push myself harder…

I did this program and ran my first 12k in November.. I now run regularly 3 - 4 times a week.. such a great program! Good luck!!

I am down 20lbs but not a pant size.. I find things are fitting and looking better so I wonder how bad they looked before! Hahah. It's a little discouraging but it's definitely because most of my weight is in my waistline.. yay.. Anyway, I know eventually the weight will go away as it has in my legs.. *fingers crossed*

this site is definitely a great tool to use in the weight loss challenge! much luck to you! and don't let the crappy PNW weather drag you down!! i'm in portland and struggle to find activities to do outside during the rainy season.. so basically 9 months a year.. hahah.. but stick with it!! you'll be really happy with the…

this is definitely the site to help you stay on track.. good luck!!

It took some time but I have found I am not really hungry at the end of the day- stomach…

welcome! i would say the best thing to do is be honest with yourself. i used to justify the not so healthy things i ate and that has landed me in a not so great place health wise. just make sure you log everything and work towards making healthy choices.. this site has been really helpful in showing what you actually eat..…

welcome! congrats on the new baby and upcoming wedding! i just joined this site a couple of weeks ago and am in love. it makes tracking calories and exercise soooo much easier than the ol' pen & paper routine. everyone i know that uses it finds it extremely helpful and easy to use. good luck to you!!

I'm so glad you both joined! I love this site and know you will find whatever support you need. Good luck to us all!

I agree. take a break if you feel like you need one. it may be your body telling you it needs the break. maybe start an every-other-day schedule? your head AND your body will work out a schedule =)
